2008 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

UNIQUE ORIGINAL COMPETITION.

In 2008 W.F.F. -W.B.B.F. (World Fitness Federation, World Bodybuilding Federation)  World Championship was held in Bydgoszcz (Poland). The competition was organized by city Mecenat JERZY GOTOWSKI and city Vice Mayor KAZIMIERZ DROZD.

The preparation started one year before with huge confrontation with the I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders) Chairman of trainers PAVEL FILEBORN. Before the event eight various level press conferences and meetings were organized. Among them official meetings of the International President W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS with the Minister of Sport Republic Poland ZBIGNIEW PACELT and Mayor City Bydgoszcz KONSTANTY DOMBROWICZ.

HIGH INTERNATIONAL AWARDS.

During the preparation of the World Championship a number of Officials of the Republic Poland were awarded with the  W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. “International Honour Silver Medal”. Among them Minister of Sport Republic Poland ZBIGNIEW PACELT, Mecenat JERZY GOTOWSKI, Mayor City Bydgoszcz KONSTANTY DOMBROWICZ.

MINISTER SPORT POLAND. OFFICIAL VISIT.

As we mentioned above high I.F.B.B. Official POWEL FILEBORN in order to ruin the 2008 W.F.F. World Championship was writing public letters. To stop this process organizers of the World Championship addressed the Minister Sport Poland ZBIGNIEW PACELT. W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. Officials were invited to the Ministry of Sport in Warsaw where they met the Minister. During the meeting required juridic W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. and I.F.B.B. questions were spoken over. Supporting the W.F.F. World Championship ZBIGNIEW PACELT wrote official letter. This letter stopped all I.F.B.B. aggressiveness. We would like to remind that due to doping usage International Olympic Committee (I.O.C.) refused to recognize I.F.B.B. federation and bodybuilding as sport. Also I.F.B.B. statements that W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. International was not among W.A.D.A. (World Anti Doping Agency) members were stopped. At that time the National President of the W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. Poland was ANDRZEJ MACIEJEWSKI. For many years ANDRZEJ MACIEJEWSKI was the Vice President of the I.F.B.B. Poland. He collected materials from press accusing I.F.B.B. Official PAWEL FILEBORN being involved in doping business and corruption. Polish athletes accused PAWEL FILEBORN selling doping usage schemes for 1 000 USD and proposing to cancel doping disqualifications for 10 000 USD. For this reason PAWEL FILEBORN was for a long time in various courts. Doping business of PAWEL FILEBORN was in popular Polish newspapers - among them in “Zycie Warszawy”, “Wiadomosczy dnia”, “Interia.pl”, “Kulturystyka” and others. By the way, after this doping scandals PAWEL FILEBORN was several times in Lithuania. There at I.F.B.B. seminars he teached Lithuanians about his personal ptactice and knowledge.

W.F.F. WORLD PRO CHAMPIONSHIPS IN PRAGUE.

BUDGET OF EACH CONTEST HALF A MILLION EURO.

Somehow life runs so quickly and many events and happenings are around us. Also in 2025. But let us remember Great Past about what other federations could dream only. We always were lacking time to tell this story thoroughly. Since 2006 until 2009 W.F.F. World Professional Championships were organized in Czech Republic. They were held in an island in the Prague Vlatava river at the barocco Zofin Palace. Budget of each championship was half a million euro of state money.

TIME PERIOD OF MARTIN KUTA.

EVEN ONE MAN CAN DO A LOT.

It seems that even one man can do a lot on International Level. A famous Czech businessman MARTIN KUTA was always a fan of fitness sport. In 2005 MARTIN KUTA  addressed the W.F.F.-W.B.B.F. International President DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS asking permeation to represent as the Chairman the W.F.F.-W.B.B.F. Federation in Czech Republic and to organize annual W.F.F. Fitness Professional World Championship in Prague. From 1999 MARTIN KUTA used to organize a fitness competition in Prague, but this contest had no official International Contest Status.

The initiative of MARTIN KUTA  was supported by the Major of the City Prague and by one of the Czech Socialdemocratic Party Leaders PETR HULINSKI. The W.F.F. Pro World Championship Organizers took the responsibility to collect every year five hundred thousand Euro for the competition as the prize money for Pros, as the payment for luxurious transport, food and accommodation for the International Delegates. The W.F.F.-W.B.B.F. International was responsible to collect the Best International Pro Fitness Competitors.

WHY W.F.F. CONTESTS WERE SO MUCH SUCESSFUL?

It was so original - W.F.F. World Championships were held in the Prague barocco style Zofin Palace which was placed in an island in Vltava river. Delegates and athletes were transported by luxurious limousines. Every time the Major City Prague was present at the event. Also famous Czech persons were present too. All basic televisions and newspapers covered the event. Every contest was crowned with the superious banquet for all VIP guests and participants. Many well known personalities worked at the competitions together with MARTIN KUTA and International W.F.F. - W.B.B.F.  President DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS. Among them was Europe Sport Leader PETER PAPULA (Austria). We would like to remind that in 1995 DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS, PETER PAPULA, German KLAUS P.J. HOFFMAN created the W.F.F. federation. Also World Legendary Bodybuilder PETR STACH and Professor KAREL TUCHACEK were always working at the contest. Representatives of the Czech I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders) federation assisted in judging as well.

W.F.F. WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP PARTICIPANTS, EXCEPTIONAL PUBLIC AND AWARDS.

As it was agreed with MARTIN KUTA International W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. International President DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS was collecting famous athletes to the W.F.F. Pro World Championships in Prague. Famous International athletes from Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Iran, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, Germany, France, Serbia and Macedonia took part at the events. There were five categories at the contests - men and women aerobic fitness, men and women model fitness and “Fit -Kids”. Most memorable participants were LENKA BORUTOVA (Czechia), VIKTOR SARKO (Latvia), FEDIR CHASALOV (Ukraine), DANIEL MEDO (Slovakia), MARIETA ZIGALOVA (Slovakia), SILVIA MALACHOVSKA (Slovakia), EVA MARTINKOVA (Slovakia), RITA ELKSNINIA (Latvia), ZUZANA HORVATH (Hungary), ERSZEBET HERCZOG (Hungary).

Due to the fact that it was impossible to collect huge auditorium in Zofin Palace the public was not so much numerable. There were only superior known persons of the Czech Republic. At the same time the competitions got much publicity on all Czech television channels and in press. The W.F.F. Pro Worlds were covered in the pages of the International magazine “Sport of Fitness and Bodybuilding” (“Sportinis fitnesas ir kultūrizmas”, «Спортивный фитнес и культуризм») which were in various languages published in Lithuania. Also W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. International issued DVD’s. Magazines and DVD’s were presented free of charge at many most important sport events through the World.

At the opening ceremony of the W.F.F. Pro World Championships in Zofin Palace participated decorative soldiers of the Roman Empire times. Plus to big money prizes competitors received valuable presents - pearls, free travel and stay in exotic places (for. Example at the Caribic Resorts).  Together wit the Mayor of Prague and MARTIN KUTA awards were presented by famous persons of the Czech Republic, for example at 2009 contest it was current “Miss Czechia” Winner.

MARTIN KUTA IN WORLD’S SPORT.

In 2005 - 2010 MARTIN KUTA was leading Czehia National delegation to the International W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. events in Austria, Poland, Germany and Lithuania. Along with 2008 W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. Europe Championship the 40-th Historic “Amber Prix International” (“Gintarinis prizas”, “Янтарный приз”) was held in Klaipeda (Lithuania). Parliament of the Republic Lithuania voted to finance this important event with the State money. President Parliament Austria Professor ALFRED GERSTL sent to the contest organizers original present - the documentary film and the Collection of the authentic pictures of the Governor of California ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER. The exhibition of the pictures was presented to Klaipeda people who visited the competition. Do You know any other federation with similar happenings???

In 2009 for the active social work MARTIN KUTA was presented with the W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. “Silver Honour Medal” (“Garbės Sidabro Medalis”). In 2010 MARTIN KUTA left his country to the USA. Since that time in the Czech Republic was no one leader and organizer to be on the same level. But when the “God closes doors he opens a window”. In 2009 unique Slovakian leader and organizer appeared in the World’s Sport - he was STEFAN HRCKA.

WORLD BODYBUILDING HISTORY

1990_blokada_5m.jpg

1990 U.S.S.R. ECONOMIC BLOCKADE TO LITHUANIA.

D.D.R. BODYBUILDERS WANT TO RUIN BLOCKADE.

ECONOMIC BLOCKADE

Socialist Republic of Lithuania was a part of the U.S.S.R. for several decades. On March 11, 1990 Lithuanian Republic restored it‘s Independence. In April, 1990 the U.S.S.R. started economic blockade to young Lithuanian Republic. The blockade lasted 75 days. Most goods could not reach the Country. Especially gasoline and oil products.

THE BEGINNING.

Representing Lithuanian bodybuilding DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS during the „Gorbaciov perestrojka“ was the only one among the U.S.S.R. bodybuilders who was skilled in several foreign languages. Meeting representatives of various countries DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS spoke with them about the political situation in the Lithuanian Republic. Among them were representatives of the German Democratic Republic (G.D.R., Г.Д.Р., Германская Демократическая Республика, D.D.R., Deutsche Demokratische Republik) too. That were the Germans: Jurgen Madaj, Otto Rudiger, Peter Bajerowicz, Joachim Hennig, Peter Butze.

EAST GERMAN BODYBUILDERS OFFERED THEIR HELP TO LITHUANIA.

A number of G.D.R. bodybuilders were great businessmen. DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS told them about the economic blockade. The Germans collected information and evaluated their possibilities. In May, 1990 they offered DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS to address the Government of the Lithuanian Republic. Aiming to stop the blockade bodybuilders of the D.D.R. sent DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS a number of telegrams and offered help for the Lithuanian Republic. DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS connected with the Government of the Republic Lithuania and spoke with the Prime Minister KAZIMIERA PRUNSKIENE. The Prime Minister said „Lithuania needs no help. We will manage to solve the problem ourselves“. That was the end of the G.D.R. support to Lithuania. On October 3, 1990 G.D.R. was ruined and joined the F.R.G. (Federal Republic of Germany)

VYTAUTAS LANDSBERGIS INTERESTED ABOUT HISTORY OF G.D.R. BODYBUILDERS.

Eleven years ago DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS spoke with the first Leader of the Lithuanian Republic the „Lithuania Patriarch“ VYTAUTAS LANDSBERGIS. DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS told him the story abot the G.D.R. bodybuilders during the economic blockade. VYTAUTAS LADSBERGIS was interested very much in the happening. He asked to give him the telegrammes which were sent to DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS. The archives of the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) are really huge. Working on the „World Bodybuilding Encyclopaedia“ («Энциклопедии всемирного культуризма», „Pasaulinė kultūrizmo enciklopedija“) only now we found the G.D.R. telegrams. This way we are close to the year of 1991. We will tell more stories about the participation of Lithuania bodybuilders in the Independence process.
